22 Fellow Israelites, listen: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited

by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs

23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the

help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross

24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony

of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its

hold on him.

I am no longer my own, but Yours. Put me to what You will. Rank me with whom You will. Put me to

doing. Put me to suffering. Let me be employed by You or laid aside for You. Exalted for You or brought low for You. Let me be full, let me be empty. I freely

and heartily yield all things to Your Pleasure and Disposal. And now O Glorious & Blessed God, Father,

Son and Spirit, You are mine & I am Yours.
